Who thinks floating in the Trinity River is a good idea? Same ones that think the Trinity River Vision/Trinity Uptown is a good idea, those who will profit.
THE PEOPLE think differently. Read their letters in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Cleaning the Trinity
I am looking at the photos in Friday's paper of people inner tubing on the Trinity River. I came to Texas in 1980, and everyone I spoke to about the Trinity had horror stories to tell about the pollution. It was a running joke about not eating anything out of the Trinity.
Now I see humans floating on the Trinity River without a care in the world! When did it get cleaned up? I don't keep up with all that goes on, so I am not complaining, just asking.
I would like to see a diagram or timeline dating back to 1980 on the cleanup process. Something that would convince me that it is truly safe to play in.
Please help me understand this better.

Pam is right to ask this. When did the Trinity River all the sudden become clean? And, don't you think it's strange that the TRWD must escort you to float the river?
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a map of the Trinity River safe and unsafe zones.
